Advanced Battery Technologies Update On Electric Vehicle Export Activity
July 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Electric Cars
Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of rechargeable Polymer Lithium-Ion (PLI) batteries as well as a manufacturer of electric vehicles, today provided a business update on the Company’s newly developed scooter and autocycle export business.
Early in 2009, the Company acquired Wuxi Angell Autocycle Co. Ltd., an electric vehicle manufacturer, and renamed it Wuxi Zhongqiang Autocycle Co., Ltd. , a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Wuxi ZQ is now expanding its distribution network of electric scooters to select countries around the world.
Initial distributors include MOTORAN Company in Turkey. MOTORAN is Turkey’s third largest two-wheeler importer, and has thousands of local dealers throughout Turkey with sales of approximately 500,000 motorcycles annually. In February Wuxi ZQ shipped 1,300 scooters to MORTAN with an additional 700 units to be delivered before the end of the month. The Company expects to deliver more than 1,500 scooters every month if MOTORAN is satisfied with the sales condition.
Additionally, the Company received commitments from Netherlands-based FLORETTI for 120 motorcycles powered by lithium-ion batteries and from India-based AMPERE for 200 electric vehicles, all for delivery in February 2010. FLORETTI focuses on high-end lithium battery-powered two-wheelers in Europe. The Company expects to deliver 5,000 ABAT manufactured motorcycles in 2010 each to these two companies if they are satisfied with the sales condition.

Aero-TV: Different by Design — A HondaJet Update
June 17, 2010 by admin
Filed under Fuel Economy
Honda Aircraft Stakes Out New Territory Via a Unique Jet Design There are few things in aviation today that can truly claim the adjective of “Unique.” Much of aviation is derived form concepts, designs or planforms that we’ve seen before… unless you find yourself considering the HondaJet. The HondaJet is an advanced, lightweight, business jet featuring an extra large cabin, high fuel efficiency, and high cruise speed compared to existing small business jets. To achieve the high-performance goals, an over-the-wing engine-mount configuration, a natural-laminar-flow wing, and a natural-laminar-flow fuselage nose were developed through extensive analyses and wind-tunnel tests. The wing is metal, having an integral, machined skin to achieve the smooth upper surface required for natural laminar flow. The fuselage is constructed entirely of composites; the stiffened panels and the Sandwich panels are co-cured integrally in an autoclave to reduce weight and cost. The prototype aircraft has been designed and fabricated. Major ground tests such as structural proof tests, control-system proof test, system function tests, and ground-vibration tests have been completed. The first flight was conducted on 3 December 2003, and flight testing is currently underway. If that is not enough, one also has to be impressed with the fact that this revolutionary jet design will be powered by an all new jet powerplant currently under parallel development. GE Honda Aero Engines’ HF120 engine has …
